With over 20 years of expertise, Vargas has become an exceptional communicator, cultivating strong relationships and referral networks throughout Greater Houston’s real estate community.

Torres and Vargas hope to leverage these tools to increase their market share in their current service area.

We can feel comfortable knowing we have the backing of such a tried and true brand, while we also gain access to powerful tools that can help our affiliated agents elevate their service. Not to mention, the C21 Commercial® program can be an ultimate game-changer for us as a firm that deals with many commercial transactions.”

As leaders, it’s our job to be the biggest cheerleaders for the agents and to also be the informed voice of reason for clients navigating the complexities of real estate.”

Located just outside of Houston, the fourth-largest city in America, Pearland offers a vibrant entertainment scene and a robust job market that’s experienced rapid growth in recent years.

“We always look for the best representatives when it comes to fortifying the CENTURY 21® network in major markets like Houston, which is what led us to Jose and Louis,” said Mike Miedler, president and CEO of Century 21 Real Estate LLC. “Both come from different walks of life with drastically different areas of expertise, yet that only serves to complement the way they successfully manage their company. The pair have incredible rapport with fellow Houston real estate professionals and do an excellent job at connecting with the other members of their firm internally as well. We can’t wait to help them bolster the reputation they’ve already built in southeast Texas.”
